"Down Home was a label that was started by Lu Watters' Yerba Buena Jazz Band in December 1949. Catalog numbers 1-6 and 11-14 were
by Watters. In 1950, Norman Granz acquired the label and issued some other jazz artists on it...."

Were there any albums released on the DOWN HOME label above MG D-7 ??
Did the VERVE release of these albums in the Down Home Series continue above the highest DOWN HOME
release ??

Below is a list of the LPs I am aware of.  Please post additions/corrections.
If anyone has a list of the 78's, that information would also be appreciated.  THANKS!

Best wishes, Thomas.
